Description: This doll was in my sister-in-law's collection of family treasures but they need to downsize their home prior to a move. I don't know the doll's history other than that my mother, Althea Bieler, did some cleaning and repair work on it in 2001. Mom sent my sister-in-law some email messages detailing the work and the research she did on the doll back then. According to the email messages the doll was made in 1913. It has an Armand Marseille bisque head (370 A.M.G/oxDEP Made in Germany) on it and a leather body. The arms are likely some kind of paper mache composite material with two fingers looking like they were repaired at some point. The only repairs I found on the clothing was on the underpants, the slip, and the bottom of the one sock that I looked at. The ribbon at her neck is frayed and fragile, as are the ribbons on her shoes. There are some stains on her dress and undergarment. For being 111 years old the doll is actually in pretty good condition seeing as she was obviously played with back in her "youth". I will include a copy of the email details regarding her bath in 2001. Please take a close look at the photos as I am not a doll expert, despite selling the 1,000s of dolls my mom left us when she died in 2010. I have many other treasures from family members in my store so please take a moment to check them out. I will gladly combine shipping on items purchased on the same day, but depending on how they require payment (offers require immediate payment) you may have to pay for shipping ahead of time, but I'll refund the difference once I get the items packed.
